UNSPSC 85553325: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left extraocular muscle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from left extraocular muscle, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 08PM37Z

UNSPSC 85553325 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left extraocular muscle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure on extraocular muscle—does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this code number. Instead, those opportunities cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, surgical benefits carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address public-sector employee benefit administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing rather than the specific ophthalmic surgical procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either a code-classification error in the source data or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare service procurement rather than for the discrete procedure it describes.

The recent opportunities do reflect active demand from state and local healthcare purchasers—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, none of these solicitations are materially relevant to vendors specializing in autologous tissue removal or extraocular muscle procedures. Business development professionals tracking this code should verify its proper UNSPSC classification before investing pursuit effort, as the recent activity does not support decision-making for ophthalmic surgical service providers.
